Lift truck trucks are really big and strong pieces of industrial machines. In order for them to operate efficiently and smoothly, hundreds of various components go into the manufacturing process. A lot of components must be replaced regularly due to damages and breakages.
Forklifts are really versatile equipment. A variety of different accessories can be fitted onto the equipment in order to increase their capabilities and expand the tasks they are often able to finish. Some of the key different forklift parts and accessories are described below.
Fork Extensions
Fork extensions are made to fit over the forklift's regular forks. These forks could can be changed completely, or various components could be added to them so the truck could raise various types of cargo such as telescopic loads, baskets, rollers, among others.
Forklift Seals and Bearings
The bearings and seals on the lift truck allow the inner workings on the machine to operate efficiently and optimally. Bearings allow two moving parts of the machinery to work together smoothly, without any friction. If not properly fitted, seals and bearings can occasionally break and wear down and these parts may have to be replaced periodically. If a bearing is the correct type of bearing for the machinery and it is fitted correctly, this particular forklift part can easily outlive the life expectancy of the entire equipment.
Cabs
The forklift's cab is the part of the machinery where the operator sits and performs maneuvers. The cab can be open or it could have a roof, based upon the particular model. On a work place, this lift truck component normally has a roof to lessen the risk of falling materials and comply with safety reasons.
Brake Forklift Components
The brakes located on a lift truck truck are required to be regularly checked in order to make sure that they are in safe working condition. usually, these components should be replaced due to extended wear or damage.
Tires and Wheels
The tires and the wheels are the lift truck components that are most usually damaged. Problems occur due to punctures from sharp things on the floor and slashes from rough and uneven floor boards.
